10 Things I (A Gen X Parent) Have Learned From My Gen Z Kids — In Haiku
Drawing furry porn
Is a way to make money
$10 a pop
If your pronouns change
You can still wear the same hoody
Every. Single. Day.
Asking if a friend
Is online or in real life
Invalidates them
A Swiss Miss sachet
Can be frequently consumed
As a dry powder
Simultaneous
Streaming of video games
Fucks with the sonos
If your kid makes a
NSFW post
DO NOT click on it
Wanting to have T
is testosterone and not
A cup of earl grey
Old feminist creed
Makes the kids really upset
Don’t be a TERF mom.
Door dash delivers
7/11 items
From four blocks away
I cannot not ‘stan’ them
That would be really creepy
‘Stan’ is not just ‘like’
